“Why don’t you just f**k off you c**t?” were the words that first greeted me when I arrived at the edges of Tommy Robinson demo. To be fair, being of middle eastern descent doesn’t exactly make me welcome among Robinson supporters but I kept my head down and people mostly just ignored me. The first

Every single Conservative MP has now made it very clear that they don’t give a damn about those working in the Public Sector. Yesterday they all voted against Labour’s amendment to end the Public sector pay freeze which has effectively cut public sector wages every year for the past seven years. For those who don’t

For the second time in 7 years, First Past the Post has failed to give any party a clear majority, which is the only damn thing it’s meant to be good at. So now we have a hung parliament and the Conservatives are planning to form a minority government with the support of the DUP,

Despite the political thunderstorm that the UK is currently stumbling through, a fantastic piece of legislation called the “Taxes for Peace Bill” is being put forward by Labour MP Ruth Cadbury. This Bill is an extension of the right to conscientiously object to being involved with military action which was introduced in the 1916 Military Service

Climate change is the most pressing issue humanity faces today, and yet mainstream politics continues to ignore it like an addict in denial. At a time when Theresa May has abolished the Energy and Climate change department and appointed Andrea Leadsom Environment Secretary, Labour must provide an alternative.

Theresa May has ascended to the Iron throne and the Conservative party, with their usual brutal efficiency, closed ranks around her the millisecond Leadsom resigned.
